The Canada Caregiver Credit is a non-refundable tax credit designed to support individuals who provide care for a spouse, common-law partner, or dependent with a physical or mental impairment. Eligible caregivers may claim amounts ranging from $2,616 to $8,375, depending on their relationship to the person receiving care, the person’s net income, and other specific circumstances. To qualify, the caregiver must provide regular and consistent support for basic necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing. Documentation from a medical practitioner may be required to confirm the nature and duration of the impairment. For detailed information on eligibility criteria, claimable amounts, and necessary documentation, please refer to the official Canada Revenue Agency page on the Canada Caregiver Credit.
